I'll add some documentation.

The high level idea is:

1. Add events to a queue. This operation is not blocking.
2. Add following operations into the queue.
3. Save the event from the second step.

Does AMD GCN support this pattern? The record event thing can be optional because I know some device RT generate the event when pushing an operation into a queue, like OpenCL.
